Description

'A sparkling winter's day' (MWIS) with M, Fiona, Pauline. From Glen Falloch to Sron Garbh, thin snow & some patches of ice. Then consistent snow over Twistin Hills. Easily over 'the Castle' as it was snowed up. Down south ridge & then it seemed safer to take a slant up N face of Beinn a'Chroin, in crampons. Along ridge & usual descent. Glen Falloch bogs frozen & some great icy stream effects.

Area : Loch Lomond to Strathyre (Ben More)

Ben Lomond (974m) and Ben More (1174m) sit on opposite sides of this area which stretches from Loch Lomond to the western end of Loch Earn. There are two distinct sections, to the north and south of Glen Voil, with the remaining peaks sitting to the south of Loch Katrine. Access to the majority of the hills in this area is commonly from Crianlarich, Aberfoyle or Callander.
